Hello, dear listeners. This is the time of year when we remind you about how you can support

the incomparable by becoming a member. You can sign up for monthly pledges or an annual pledge

if you don't want your credit card charged every month. Here's what you do. Go to the incomparable.com

and sign up. That's it. You pick which shows on the network you want to support. So if you just

check the box for the incomparable,

that money will come to me for this show. But if you like other shows on our network, you can

spread that money around to as many of them as you want. We take out a few fees up front for

administering the service, but most of the money is going, the vast bulk of the money,

is going to the hosts of the podcast that you love.

And here's what you get in return, other than just the warm, fuzzy feeling of supporting the podcasts that you like to listen to.

You get a lot of extras. You've got bonus content. There's a bootleg podcast where after we record an episode, for the incomparable, it's literally a minute

after I record the episode, I upload the bootleg. So if you can't listen live, which is really

limited, it's very late on the East Coast. Everybody else in the world is asleep, except people

in California like me. But the bootleg is there, and you can listen to our completely unedited,

ridiculous live sessions at any point.

It's just a podcast feed for members.

And there is our first class feed, which is where we put extra stuff, especially this time of year.

And I just want to go in a few of the things that are in there right now.

We did a robot or not extra.

We did a Batman University extra where we read poems as Batman.

There is a pilot to a game show, Anthony posted before the final version ended up in the game show feed.

We've done a bunch of commentary tracks for movies where you can actually watch Star Wars.
